Grand September
September is one of the most beautiful moliths of the year.
Plenty of color adorns the landscape, partly from abundant
flowers, and partly from cultivated and wild fruits turned
bright by summer suns. These form a great symphony of
Nature, and decorate trees, bushes, and vines with their
colorful tones.
The heats of July and Aug.ust have mostly passed. The air
is full of an invigorating quality that stirs human energy to
new life. People feel a new power to do things, and working
and athletic activity is stimulated by the new life in the
atmosphere.
The days are growing shorter, and the sun has traveled a
long distance away from us from the high point he reached
in June. His gorgeous rays so filled the earth with warmth,
that the temperature in this grand month is ideal, and it encourages every form of effort.
Twilight and darkness come earlier, and draw their curtain
over some of the activities which people used to carry on at
night after the evening meal.
The fields which two months before were merry with the
song of birds, are now almost silent. The feathered friends
have raised their little families, and have seen them fly away.
Now they are almost wholly voiceless, save for a little twittering and chirping. The fields are full of crickets and grasshoppers, whose little monotous humming puts a note of life
into the scene.
September is a month whose lovely climate makes the
hoppers, whose little monotonous humming puts a note of
life into the scene.
Resources for All
Science points out that the world has ample resources with
"*" * s.use
will' It now How "t^use^tKem, "is amfferent"profe
race is provided with all the material it needs for comfortable
living, but knowledge of how to use these things is not as
^widespread as it should be.
One great difficulty has been the tendency of the human
race, which it has not been possible to eradicate, to quarrel
over the division of these resources, and to become involved
in destructive wars from these disputes.
The German people were called among the highest educated in the world. Yet their government started two terrible
wars, which reduced a great share of the world's population
of suffering and misery, and imposed hardship on the majority of countries.
If people can once get the idea that they -have far more
to gain by cooperation than by fighting, the world can go on to
a marvellous stage of advancement, culture, and comfort.
Backward races that have seen but little progress, can become modem and advanced nations.
If the burden of wars and paying and preparing fol* war,
could be eliminated, a wonderful stage of progress would be
attained in advanced countries like the United States. Such
a happy state of things is not in sight. The United States
needs ample military preparation as things now stand, but
it should keep in sight the great gains that would come if
war could be finally abolished.
Stop and Think—First
There is one and only one way to stop any and all hate
stories, rumors, and malicious gossip — Whether they be
irected at political parties or individuals,- labor or industry,
lacks or Whites, Protestants, Catholics or Jews.
It is a job that is up to you and me, to each and every
one of us who believes in the brotherhood <6f .man and the
democratic way of life. We can't alibi nor shirk the task.
The only person to do it is the individual himself.
"If you can't write it and sign it—don't say it" should be
our slogan. I cribbed that sentence from an article written
by Robert Butler, shipbuilder in Duluth, because I think it is
just plain horse sense. It is easy, practical and whatjs more
to the point, it will do the job.
Of course if people adhered to it, there would be many
moments of silence — which we could all survive without
hardship. Most people talk too much anyway.-1 know-I do.
Test the idea on yourself. I've found that a good way to
counteract rash statements is to say to the speakers, "That's
very interesting. Let me write it down. • I -know you won't
mind of I quote you but I want to be sure- I get- it just
straight." Well, what happens is that the final statement
isn't even a reasonable facsimile of the original.
Listen to your own conversation- some time. How much
of it would you be willing to sign? Precious little, I bet. If
you aren't willing to back up your own charges, don't make
them,. If you aren't willing to stand by what you say, don't
say it.
Put that slogan into practice and the result will be that
you'll rriake only accurate statements. You will not exaggerate. You will not show prejudice. Yoli will not allow your
personal feelings to color your speech.
And what will that mean to you? You'll develop a reputa--
tion for accuracy, for logic, for reasoned' speech—because
you will tend to understate, rather than overstate. You know
how you judge the opinions of others, how you respect the
man who is always proven right. You may not be as sensational-a conversationalist, but you will be one to .whom people will listen and whom they'll quote" because they know
you're dependable.
"If-you.can't write it and sign it—don't say.it."-Let's make

Food Canning
Project Started
Parent-Teacher groups participating in the annual canning project at the Stark County Home reported, following a meeting for inspection of equipment last Friday,
the work probably would begin
this week.
In addition to representatives of
the majority of the 14 county
schools involved, the meeting was
attended by Miss Addis K. Barthelmeh, home demonstration -agent,
Miss Dorothy Throssell, district
nutritionist for the Ohio Department of Health, Mrs. E. A. Loom-
is, the P-T. A. hot lunch chairman,
and Mrs. Edward Gloss, canning-
supervisor.
In exchange for supervising the
important rvvork of canning- the
surplus vegetables raised on the
farms at the County Home, the
participating schools annually receive half the finished product to
utilize in their hot lunch programs.
County commissioners have cooperated in the work by providing
a number of new pieces of equipment.
Arthur Essig of R. D. 6, North
Canton, was treated at Mercy Hospital for shock suffered September
3. when a car driven bv his brother, James R. Essig of the same
address, collided with an auto at
4th and Kennet ct NW in Canton.
Police said the machine, traveling north on Kennet ct, overturned
on a lawn after striking a car
driven by Dr. Ronald Harner of
37th street NW, going east on 4th
street NW. Both cars were damaged extensively.
Alice Breneman, 75, of Greentown was taken to Mercy Hospital
for treatment of scalp lacerations
and possible skull and right ankle
fractures suffered when she was
struck by a car one-half mile south
of Greentown on Route 8.
The driver, Walker E. Schrantz
of North Main Street, North Can-

oncoming cars travelling south,
and he did not see the pedestrian.

— The United Nations Special

Before an estimated crowd of-
10,000 thrilled spectators, the.first
annual Stark County "B" Grid Preview was held at Tiger Stadium in
Massillon. Sixteen erstwhile football elevens and their bands par-'
aded onto the turf during the festivities. The sixteen bands .plus the
famous Massillon Tiger band and
Lhe Post 44 American Legion band
performed in a brilliant "halftime"
show.
This occasion served as a kickoff
for the participating elevens. The
twelve minute games, eight in all,
featured everything from brilliant
running, beautiful passing and
punting to a pass interception and
a touchdown on the last play of
one of the "games".
Surprising enough, only two of
the eight tilts ended in scoreless
deadlocks, these being the Middle-
branch—Waynesburg and the East
Canton—Jackson Township encounters.
The North Canton Vikings put
together some brilliant running
and defensive play to trip the Orrville Red Rider's 7-0.
The Vikings opening kickoff
carried to the Riders' fifteen yard
line. After moving the .pigskin to
the thirty they were forced to punt.
North Canton's Dick Seemann,
speedy left halfback, who tallied
sixty-one points last season, drove
off left tackle, cut back, and scampered to the eight yard line of
Orrville, a run of fifty-three yards.
On the next play Seemann drove to
the two yard stripe, from which
point Bob Warburton, right halfback, plunged over for the touchdown. Seemann's sprint was one of
the finest witnessed during the preview. Jim Heckaman place kicked
the oval directly between the posts
for the final point of the hard
fought contest. Orrville received
Sumser's wobby kickoff on their
own forty. And after making a
first down lost the ball on a pass
intercepted by Tom Braucher. A
Schreckengost aerial was taken by
an alert Orrville defender. Orr-
ville's passes were, grounded and
the encounter ended with the ball
at midfield in possession of the
Red Rider's. ~ . ' •' ,
Dick Seemann and' Bob Warburton led the attack while our alert
backfield intercepted two Orrville
aerials. Coach ' Lave substituted
freely as twenty-one Vikings sa^

The Vikings open their regular1

Grand September
September is one of the most beautiful moliths of the year.
Plenty of color adorns the landscape, partly from abundant
flowers, and partly from cultivated and wild fruits turned
bright by summer suns. These form a great symphony of
Nature, and decorate trees, bushes, and vines with their
colorful tones.
The heats of July and Aug.ust have mostly passed. The air
is full of an invigorating quality that stirs human energy to
new life. People feel a new power to do things, and working
and athletic activity is stimulated by the new life in the
atmosphere.
The days are growing shorter, and the sun has traveled a
long distance away from us from the high point he reached
in June. His gorgeous rays so filled the earth with warmth,
that the temperature in this grand month is ideal, and it encourages every form of effort.
Twilight and darkness come earlier, and draw their curtain
over some of the activities which people used to carry on at
night after the evening meal.
The fields which two months before were merry with the
song of birds, are now almost silent. The feathered friends
have raised their little families, and have seen them fly away.
Now they are almost wholly voiceless, save for a little twittering and chirping. The fields are full of crickets and grasshoppers, whose little monotous humming puts a note of life
into the scene.
September is a month whose lovely climate makes the
hoppers, whose little monotonous humming puts a note of
life into the scene.
Resources for All
Science points out that the world has ample resources with
"*" * s.use
will' It now How "t^use^tKem, "is amfferent"profe
race is provided with all the material it needs for comfortable
living, but knowledge of how to use these things is not as
^widespread as it should be.
One great difficulty has been the tendency of the human
race, which it has not been possible to eradicate, to quarrel
over the division of these resources, and to become involved
in destructive wars from these disputes.
The German people were called among the highest educated in the world. Yet their government started two terrible
wars, which reduced a great share of the world's population
of suffering and misery, and imposed hardship on the majority of countries.
If people can once get the idea that they -have far more
to gain by cooperation than by fighting, the world can go on to
a marvellous stage of advancement, culture, and comfort.
Backward races that have seen but little progress, can become modem and advanced nations.
If the burden of wars and paying and preparing fol* war,
could be eliminated, a wonderful stage of progress would be
attained in advanced countries like the United States. Such
a happy state of things is not in sight. The United States
needs ample military preparation as things now stand, but
it should keep in sight the great gains that would come if
war could be finally abolished.
Stop and Think—First
There is one and only one way to stop any and all hate
stories, rumors, and malicious gossip — Whether they be
irected at political parties or individuals,- labor or industry,
lacks or Whites, Protestants, Catholics or Jews.
It is a job that is up to you and me, to each and every
one of us who believes in the brotherhood <6f .man and the
democratic way of life. We can't alibi nor shirk the task.
The only person to do it is the individual himself.
"If you can't write it and sign it—don't say it" should be
our slogan. I cribbed that sentence from an article written
by Robert Butler, shipbuilder in Duluth, because I think it is
just plain horse sense. It is easy, practical and whatjs more
to the point, it will do the job.
Of course if people adhered to it, there would be many
moments of silence — which we could all survive without
hardship. Most people talk too much anyway.-1 know-I do.
Test the idea on yourself. I've found that a good way to
counteract rash statements is to say to the speakers, "That's
very interesting. Let me write it down. • I -know you won't
mind of I quote you but I want to be sure- I get- it just
straight." Well, what happens is that the final statement
isn't even a reasonable facsimile of the original.
Listen to your own conversation- some time. How much
of it would you be willing to sign? Precious little, I bet. If
you aren't willing to back up your own charges, don't make
them,. If you aren't willing to stand by what you say, don't
say it.
Put that slogan into practice and the result will be that
you'll rriake only accurate statements. You will not exaggerate. You will not show prejudice. Yoli will not allow your
personal feelings to color your speech.
And what will that mean to you? You'll develop a reputa--
tion for accuracy, for logic, for reasoned' speech—because
you will tend to understate, rather than overstate. You know
how you judge the opinions of others, how you respect the
man who is always proven right. You may not be as sensational-a conversationalist, but you will be one to .whom people will listen and whom they'll quote" because they know
you're dependable.
"If-you.can't write it and sign it—don't say.it."-Let's make
